Experienced dog walker/pet sitter

Pet care experience

As a pet owner and homeowner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after them! You could say I'm an animal lover, I have a 4lb Morkie puppy and a senior 60lb Boxer, a shy house bunny, a fiesty cockatiel, a 100gal aquarium, and a 70lb tortoise! Needless to say I can take care of all types of animals. I worked for years as a veterinary assistant and majored in pre-veterinary medicine, so I am experienced with special needs animals and have been hired for after - surgery care. I have lived in the Tuskawilla area for 10 years. As a single stay at home mom, my schedule is very open and flexible to attend to your fur children numerous times per day, once per day, whatever you need! If you are going on vacation or working, I can attend to your animals as well as take care of various home maintenance tasks such as pool care, mail and package receiving, or watching over your home while a utility technician or repair person visits. Let me be your go-to neighbor for help! Willing to negotiate package deals with multiple visits!

Kari is amazing. She is a sweet and loving care giver. She put me at ease so I could be gone for a week to get married. She responded to all of texts and even sent pictures so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I felt great knowing that my fur baby was being looked after by her. I will definitely be using her often!

Thank you to Kari for providing a safe and fun environment for our puppy Dutch. He is a spirited little guy, and I can tell when he has been “worn out” when returning home from work. She is careful with her observations and extremely flexible with last minute requests. He is doing great in the leash and continues to improve with both potty training and walking. Our big Great Dane also loves her and I’m sure it’s the highlight of both those day. Thank you so much and I would highly recommend Kari’s expertise and integrity.

Kari was great with Mel and even identified that he had worms in his stool that I was unaware of. She also took a sample to the vet for me so that I was able to get him taken care of. Kari told me how long she walked him and sent pictures! I would highly recommend her!!

Not only does Kari clearly love animals, they love her back! My pit mix doesn't handle thunderstorms well, so when Kari stopped by for her regular potty break visit while I was at work and noticed an afternoon storm was on its way, she spent some extra time to soothe Bruno while it passed. It breaks my heart to not be able to be there for him, but I felt so much better knowing he was getting some cuddles in instead of being scared of the storm!
